04 / Questions

Questions about the catalogue

What does ACH mean in a model name?

ACH is the Airbus Helicopters corporate range, with interior and equipment options for private and business flights.

Why are there no prices in the catalogue?

The price depends on the variant, specification, delivery date and terms of the deal. For a used aircraft, flight hours and maintenance history also matter.

Can I compare models by range alone?

No. Published range depends on the assumptions used to calculate it. A real route must account for passengers, baggage, fuel reserves and the limitations of the chosen landing site.
